Abstract

The reaction of 4,4′‐dimethoxythiobenzophenone (1a) with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) afforded an unusual type of 2:1 adduct with the structure of thiacyclopent‐2‐ene (5a). On the other hand, the reaction of thiobenzophenone (1b) with TCNE afforded the corresponding thiophene, the normal 2:1 adduct (2b). The mechanism of the formation of 5a is discussed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 12:259–262, 2001
